I cannot comment on Abp. Kwong- as far as I am aware, he seems to have left little in the way of commentary on the last 15 years of crisis in the Anglican Communion. So I will leave it to others to comment on his orthodoxy and fitness for the office.
However “…Anglican Consultative Council – the legally constituted body that brings together Anglican churches…” ALL the various churches, committees and organizations within the Anglican Communion are “legally constituted.” This is another attempt by the ACO to give the ACC authority beyond the “consultative.”
